Significance
-
Collagen is an important protein of the body's connective tissue. Keratin is a tough protein that hair and nails are made of. Both are important in hair's structure and health.
Considerations
-
As a person ages, the body loses the ability to make collagen. Hair can become dry, brittle, coarse, break easily and fall out. Keratin is the dominant protein for keeping hair strong.
